From the reviews
Our 5yo has been taking classes with ms Lindsey for a year and just graduated to ms Rachels class. We love both teachers and our daughter has a blast every week and is always so excited for class. We really appreciate the challenging yet fun loving approach to get littles loving dance at a young age.
Tutu School is simply magical! 🌟 My toddler has been taking ballet classes here, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. The school is not only clean and bright but also incredibly aesthetically pleasing, creating a truly enchanting environment for the little ones.
We joined tutu school after seeing an event they hosted on Instagram. My daughter is three and I wasn't sure what to expect since this was her first time dancing. My first impression walking into the studio was how beautiful it was and how magical it felt for a little kid.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tutu School is truly exceptional! The cleanliness and organization of the facilities are top-notch, ensuring a safe and inviting environment. My daughter absolutely adores her time here and is constantly inspired by the dedicated and talented teachers.
Your first ballet class at Tutu School East Amherst
Nervous about walking into your first class? Almost everyone is — and a good studio expects beginners, whether your dancer is five or you're returning at fifty. Here's what to know. What to wear: comfortable clothes you can move in, with socks or bare feet; a leotard and tights are nice if you have them, but not required, and pointe shoes are years down the road — never day one. What to expect: class usually starts at the barre with slow, simple movements to warm up, then moves to the center — follow along, copy the teacher, and don't worry about getting it "right" the first time. Arrive early: come 10–15 minutes ahead to change, find a spot, and let the teacher know it's a first class so they can keep an eye out. It gets easier fast — most people feel far more at home by their third class.
